Last week, more than ten thousand Korean Wave fans have gathered in Paris to participate in KBS Music Bank Pop Festival.

Although it was the first time KBS Music Bank performed in Europe, Korean Wave fans came not only from France, but came from all over Europe, including Italy, and Spain. Blond French youths cheered for K-Pop artists, Girl's Generation, Shinee, 2PM, and fanatically followed their songs and dance moves. Some burst into tears of joy, and a few audiences became too absorbed that they fainted.

The popularity of K-Pop seems to be elevated, and the status of South Korea's idol groups, influence of K-Pop have expanded to an unprecedented level. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that K-Pop artists representing Korea are in a way the 'national icon.'

still can't care about pop music in general   unless it's written by a beatle, a beatles derivative, or tsunku the manly.
